Adam joins us on the podcast and shares how he was drawn to police work from an early age, he discusses his time serving in the Army's MP Corps, getting his dream job as a cop in the town where he lived, his career in law enforcement and the many positions he's held over the years. Adam also shares with us how he quickly became desensitized to dead bodies, how the job began to change him slowly, until one day while on duty Adams life was changed forever. After an officer involved shooting Adams personality began to change. He discusses those changes openly, how he coped, and how he suffered. He also expresses compassion for everyone involved that day, and shares with us that getting honest with himself and making his well-being a priority was how he began to heal. Today Adam still works in law enforcement while advocating for for first responder mental health and helping others through Stop the Threat Stop the Stigma.
